I have a Benq M22 HD cam. Is it compatible with Final Cut pro 7?

I have a Benq M22 HD cam. Is it compatible with Final Cut pro 7?

Hi Nick, thanks for your help, Im rather new at editing and FCP. I did everything as it said to do in the MPEG Streamclip download tutorial, but when it finished, I tried to open the .mov files and it was just sound but no picture, just black.
Now, another thing, the .mov converted files where saved into mi SD card after the program was done (is that ok, or should they have been saved somewhere else too?)  then i tried to put them into my FCP by using the Log and Transfer and when I selected that it gave me this message: "100MEDIA" contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches supported media.
Help please!! I know that these problems are probably from my lack of knowledge on the program and the whole thing.. but im working on it!!
Thanks!!

  • I have a Canon Vixia HV30 camera and can't get Final Cut Pro x to recognize it. Any suggestions?

    How can I get Final Cut ProX to recognize my Canon Vixia HV30 camera?

    Does your Mac have a FW 800 port? If it does, use a 4 pin to 9 pin connection. If you have only Thunderbolt, use a FW>Tb adaptor. Either way, your Mac should see the camera. If it does, so will FCP.

  • Is the Sony HDR-FX7 HDV Camera compatible with Final Cut Pro 5 or 6?

    Has anyone gotten this to work correctly. I have read in a few forums that the camera is not supported by FCP and I checked on the compatibility list and it is not there. iMovie sees this camera and can capture from it.
    I can not get FCP 6 to recognize the camera. I set device control to Sony HDV and I am only able to capture using the Intermediate Codec. When I switch to the HDV codec it only will record for a second then fail. Although I can capture with some limitations I still can't get FCP to recognize the camera and therefore video from the timeline won't playback on the camera.
    I really don't want to have to buy a hdmi capture card or buy a HDV deck to get this to work. If anyone knows any workarounds it would be greatly appreciated.
    If there are none any suggestions on a cheap compatible hdv deck or camera to get footage in and out would be great.
    Thanks.

    I have never had a problem with my internal boot drive either capturing DV footage and since HDV shares the same data rate I didn't think it would be an issue.
    Then you are lucky my friend. If you wish to keep tempting fate that is your choice. I am simply suggesting that you follow the suggested setup so that you could eliminate a possible problem.
    I do think there are compatibility issues.
    This may be the case. Have you used an easy setup that matches your cameras settings and then changed control to firewire basic as I suggested earlier?
    I have manually set up the capture settings and it will only work to the intermediate codec.
    Manually settings are not always the best method. Try an easy setup as I suggested earlier.
    I have narrowed it down to 2 things, either it's a Final Cut 6 issue on an Intel Mac, or it's just not compatible (Apple does not list it in it's Compatible Hardware List).
    What I am trying to do is to narrow it down further. I have given you suggestions but it does not appear that you have tried them. If you try these we can continue to eliminate until you have an answer.
    Please post back when you have tried my previous suggestions.

  • HT4682 I have a samsung full hd 1920x1080 camcorder that doesnt seem to be compatible with final cut pro because when I try to load the videos onto it, the stills are just black and all I get is sound. Can someone help me?

    Yeah any help would be appreciated.

    I can't find any information about what format and specs this camera shoots. The only think I can find online is the manual as a PDF, which I'm not about to read. Maybe you could look through it and see if you can find out the specifications that this camera shoots. In all likelihood you'll have to convert the media using MPEG Streamclip or Compressor.

  • I have a Sony HVR-V1P, can i successfully capture and edit with Final Cut Pro X

      I have a Sony HVR-V1P, can i successfully capture and edit with Final Cut Pro X

    My HVR-A1U was able to capture just fine.  The only issue I had is that it has mroe frequently than FCP 7 ever did find Timecode breaks and split my clip apart.  I never had breaks before, so while it is possible I had them on this latest tape, I think X is just more picky.  I mean heck, it found three in a one minute timeframe.  My A1U worked with X without me needing to adjsut any settings form how I had it setup for 7.

  • TS1846 I have some troubles recently with Final Cut Pro 7 and would like to remove my preferences. I can't find any "com.apple.finalcutpro.plist" file from the Preferences folder but I do have some preferences.  So, where could be the file ?

  • Which Sony Video Camera's will work with Final Cut

    Hi,
    I'm getting *Final Cut* and can get +Sony Video Camera's+ at a discount, but like to know which +Sony Video Camera's+ will work with *Final Cut* or should most work without any problems?
    Thanks,
    Sal

    You got to do better than that.
    Any idea on the TYPE of sony video camera's available to you? They make quite a few.
    I'd stay away from anything with a DVD in it... also HDV can be tricky too... but not undoable.

    It does work!

  • Camera's Compatable with Final Cut Pro Studio 2

    So I'm looking at buying a camera and the new final cut pro studio 2. The camera I was looking at getting was the Canon GL2, but Final Cut Studio 2 doesn't list that camera as one that is compatable and they don't really list many that are. I was wondering if the camera they list that work are just recommended ones or if they are the only ones that will work. Also if anyone has any suggestions for a decent camera. I really only want to spend a little over $2000. Thanks
    - Josh -

    Apple has long listed the GL1 but not the GL2 but I have no idea why. I have used the GL2 with FCP versions 1,2.3 and 4 and have Studio 2 on order and expect no problems. Using a camera for capture is pretty hard on it so I use an inexpensive mini-dv deck because I much prefer batch capturing everything and doing THAT with a camera (all the start stop and such) is even worse so I suggest a deck. I don't have Studio Pro 2 yet but I am expecting no problems....

  • What video cameras are compatible with Final Cut Express?

    I live in Japan and was thinking of buying a Victor " Full High Definition" video camera (1920x1080). The only thing I was warned about by the salesperson is that unless I have a Blue-Ray DVD recorder/player, I will never be able to enjoy true Full HD after burning my video to a DVD. I guess regular DVD recorders/players can't support it yet.
    I have searched to find a page that tells me what video camera is compatible with my iMac G5, but no luck. Any ideas on how to find out before buying a video camera? I would appreciate anyone's advice.
    Thanks, Larry in Japan

    Hope you don't mind me asking why? - As long as they've got a F/W connector how does the source media make any difference? - In fact, I would think that shuttling around would be faster with HD's or DVD's.....
    I also believe the salesperson was trying to say that he's going to need a BluRay deck in order to be able to view his HD material on an appropriately equipped TV - Which is correct, no?
    Thanks in advance for any comments,

  • Hard drive cameras compatible with final cut express

    What hard drive cameras are compatible with FCE,
    I purchased an imac and much to my dismay my Sony dcr-sr200 doesn't work with it..
    Thanks
    John

    What format do you want to work in SD or HD? You should really ask questions about camera purchases on the video production forum. There are many factors involved here, only one of which is its compatibility with FCE.

  • I have a problem with Final Cut Pro, I can't find my existing events and project anymore!

    Can give somebody me how I can solve this problem?

    Can we asssume that you upgraded to 10.1 and created those projects and events in an earlier version of FCP X?
    Or is there more to the story?

  • Regarding final cut pro and sony camera

    hi,
    I have a Sony HDR-CX550/CX550V XR550/XR550V Digital HD Camera Recorder, and I wanted to know if the format that this camera shoots, will it be natively compatible with Final Cut Pro?
    I would really appreciate an answer, as I need it asap
    Much thanks

    I have the same camera, and I noticed that in Standard Def mode, the Sony HDR-CX550V shoots in MPEG 2 PS (not AVCHD)
    - Can this be natively edited in Final Cut Pro? If so, how?
    - Is this an XDCAM format?
    - If the Sony MPEG-2 PS can't be edited in FCP directly, what's the fastest / most space-efficient way codec for me to translate this to (for example thru mpegstreamclip)?
    Would much appreciate your insights-

  • How to put on the files of the camera Sony Avchd hdr-td10 for Final Cut Pro 6.0.6?

    Sorry for my English, I am French. I would like to know if the camera Sony Avchd hdr-td10 is compatible with Final Cut Pro 6.0.6 to List and Transferer and if it is necessary to install a particular codec? This camera makes of the 3D but I specify that my rushes are in 2D. Thank you in advance.

    Read this. (Also available in French from the "Aide" menu bar item)
    If the files are not recognized because Sony made some changes to the AVCHD format, MPEG Streamclip (free) might be able to help. Clipwrap ($50) will definitely work.

  • Unable to connect to Deck or Camera to capture footage. Final cut pro6

    Hey guys,
    I am wondering if anybody who has been in my situation or know how i can resolve my problem can help me.
    I have been using my Deck to upload all my footage, in standard def, and my JVC GY HD100 camera to upload all HD footage without any problems until the last week.
    I have been shooting alot of footage (SD) that needs to be captured and also master copies to be burnt to MINIDV from my computer, and i can not locate any of the devices which i would like to use.
    When i open my FCP i get the following error message.
    Unable to locate the following external devices:
    Apple FIrewire PAL (720x576)
    Dispite (on both occasions ) the JVC Camera and also the JVC BR-HD50 Deck is connected via Fire wire.
    - I also changed all A/V Settings with no luck
    - Tried using different FW Ports
    - Trashed the preferences
    - downloaded the updated Quicktime software and deleted the old versions
    When i go into the System settings, the Firewire tab also says that the device is unrecognised.
    - I have tried closing the mac down to reset the FW ports (many times last week, and it has also been off all weekend and it is still not allowing any connection to either camera or deck)
    I do not know what else I can do to resolve the problem.
    Is it a problem with Final Cut Pro, The deck, camera, or fire wire itself?
    Or (as i suspect) a problem with the Mac?
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi David
    Thanks for your reply - i Should have stated that i do only use either the Cam or the Deck at any given time - i do not have more than one DV device connected to Mac at any one time.
    Sorry about not including that piece of information. Have you any other ideas??? I dont want to reinstall the OS from the disc until i have tried everything else, and unless its absolutly necessary.
